I’m so nervous I’m actually debating paying £10 for the video pass tonight, instead of listening to Clive shred my nerves for 90 minutes.

“O’Hare receives the ball in the Portsmouth half and TURNS, BEATS A MAN, HE SLIDES IT THROUGH FOR BIAMOU, MUST BE A GOAL! Ooo it rolls harmlessly out for a throw in, Biamou was never going to get there and Portsmouth had 4 men covering”

Exactly - the words must score are a signal for a goal kick / throw / corner ! - he commentates like a fan - I am not complaining but can be frustrating

I think we’re giving Portsmouth too much respect.

They are on a great run, but so are we. While we lost on penalties we completely outplayed a Championship team, twice. The fans know when we play our way we are the best team in the league - I’m sure MR and the player know that too. And conversely, we played poorly on Saturday and still won. I can’t see any reason the players shouldn’t be absolutely full of confidence.

Selection wise, I get the calls to rest Kelly and he hasn’t looked quite himself the last few, but I’d have done that against Bolton not Portsmouth. Wash is the most natural replacement, and while he plays deeper alongside Kelly he currently has license to roam - he wouldn’t if he was the deepest lying midfielder and we’d miss that.

I’d also go two up front, both Baka and Biamou look better when in a two and have formed a strong partnership. Unfortunately I think he’ll start with one, probably Bakayoko if Godden is out.

I also have a feeling he’ll opt for the Westbrooke/Shipley combination due to their discipline, work rate and distance covered around the pitch. While it’s more than conservative than d be, having O’Hare and Allen fresh against tired legs around 60 minutes could work well.

I’ve never seen Giles play, but he’s clearly well regarded. While McCallum has been slightly off too, I’d still start him as he’s used to the formation, tactics etc.

With all that in mind I think he’ll go:

Marosi
Rose McFadzean Hyam
Dabo Kelly Walsh McCallum
Westbrooke Shipley
Bakayoko

Wilson
Pask
Giles
Allen
O’Hare
Biamou
Hiwula/Jones

Unfortunately my ST is going spare tonight as I’m missing the game due to a family event which I’ve tried and failed to get out of. I’ll be watching on iFollow, and while it doesn’t compare to being there in person (especially for such a big game), at least I can still follow the action.

3-1, Bakayoko, Walsh, Shipley.

Someone put a link up to their board, they are just as wary of us as as we are of them. Still no idea what will happen, anything is possible, but counting the minutes until kickoff, can’t wait- the buildup always drives me mad

I've a feeling O'Hare won't feature tonight. I know he finished Saturday but it wouldn't surprise me if medical staff at either City or Villa have said to keep him out of this one.

Reading their forum they acknowledge we are a good side & have only lost 3 they also say they give the opposition lots of chances in games and lucky they haven’t been taking them.

3-1 win I have a feeling Baka is gonna put in a storming performance tonight & run them ragged.

I hope Fadz is fit for this, its touch & go by all accounts. Im guessing Robins would revert to a flat back 4 which means Dabo and Mcallum wouldn't get forward as much, but would mean 2 up front which would need to be Baka and Biamou due to Portsmouth's height.

I’d like to see Allen and O’Hare given another go with Biamou up top , otherwise, same team as Saturday! Let’s try and get some continuity.

Robin's is the saviour
Baka is a 20 goal a season striker
Shipley is class
McFazdean is champions league quality

Sorry, just getting the balance in now to compensate for any sputtering meltdowns that may come out during the game.

I've never seen this on there before. I was going to do iFollow tonight for the first time, not sure what to go with now.

I have SkyBet account, but I assume you'd need to pop a bet on this game?

One thing about streaming on betting sites, I don't think you can make it full screen so it's small (maybe better on a tablet). Also means you usually see the odds underneath and due to delay you'll likely see betting suspended 15 seconds before a big chance/goal. Just a heads up.

Considering its a minimum £5 deposit on Skybet you may aswell buy it on Ifollow for £10 and get the commentary with it.

Can you stream iFollow on a smart TV? I can put it on my desktop, but never used iFollow before so not sure what is best to do.

Looking at the live streaming T&C's I'm not sure you do for any of their live streaming except horse racing.

Does anyone know if I you can watch the stream in full screen? Can't be doing with watching in a little box like they had on bet365. Would rather stump up the tenner for ifollow.

Better just plugging your laptop or phone into your tv or using the screen mirror function on your phone if your tv is compatible

You can connect a laptop to the TV with a hdmi cable and it works. Not sure about any other ways

As part of the deal with iFollow it allowed for broadcaster with rights to also show all midweek games. Sky have all championship games available on sky sports. Wonder if this is the start of the expansion of that.

They've won 9 in a row so are due to lose soon. We win tonight and its a massive step towards promotion. I reckon it might be a tight game but if we do manage to score early I can see us winning by a couple.

I think so. Never done it before but pretty sure you don't even have to stick that much on to get it. I'll probably still go with ifollow though, few people have said you can't maximise the window on betting sites

I hope you're right on the score, but we also have a good track record of creating opportunities and not taking them. I'm going for a 2-1 win with a late goal for us.

Todays the day we rubber stamp our top 2 credentials.

Not season defining, but hoping for a better performance than Saturday.

As long as we avoid defeat given who we have on Saturday it will be an ok result
